Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Notes on Men, Women, and Books The eighteenth century is marked in German history by the rise of that wonderful literature which sprang into life full grown, full armed, like a second Minerva, and has since reigned the undisputed leader of the thought of Europe. Jean Paul Richter belonged to this brilliant era of splendid intellects, and was one of its most celebrated leaders, while Goethe, Herder, Schiller, Kant, Lessing, Wieland, Tieck, Klopstock, Novalis, Schelling, Jacobi - all these constellated stars of poetry and philosophy were his contemporaries. The great German ocean of thought was then at a springtide, and overflowing into all Europe; and from then until now, from her forests and her mountains, Germany has never ceased sending forth spiritual giants to exterminate error and crush dogmatic bigotry. Richter´s life, like that of the German literati in general, was marked by little external variety: from Bayreuth to Berlin - to live from Berlin to Bayreuth to die. He never beheld the sea nor the Swiss mountains; and bitterly lamented, in his latter years, that he must die without ever having beheld the glory of nature from the summit of the Righi. There is a dreary monotonous uniformity in all these German lives. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
